Kansas Jayhawks Betting Preview
The Kansas Jayhawks are 1-3 (0-1) this year after they lost to West Virginia by a score of 32-28 in their last game. Kansas led 28-17 in the fourth quarter, but they allowed two touchdowns in the last 3:27 for the loss.

TCU vs Kansas Prediction
Both of these teams have lost a couple of games in a row and will look to turn the season around here. Kansas had chances to win their last three games, but they came up just short in all three of them. TCU blew a late lead against UCF two weeks ago, but they were blown out against SMU last week. I don’t love either team in this matchup, but I do think the Kansas defense is better than TCU’s. We should see plenty of points in this game, but expect Daniels and the Kansas offense to make a few more plays. Take Kansas to get the win.
